Promises or the Three Lies

One of the few decent things in Bush's speech at the Republican Convention this month was his promise of $1 billion in new funds to provide healthcare to uninsured children. Inevitably, when Bush promises money for something, you have to look for the way he is simultaneously undercutting his own promise. In this case, he has ordered the withholding of $1.1 billion in unspent funding for the same children's health insurance program he promised to fund, meaning that if his promise of future funding is ever kept (they rarely are), his new funding will still represent barely 90% of the money he could provide right now if he chose to do so.

If Bush is fucking our kids this way, can we call him a pedophile?
